Getting to the cruise port from the Molino Stucky Hilton

Tip:
Our Google aerial photo
map (page 4 of this article) shows both the Molino Stucky Hilton and the
cruise basins. You can zoom in and move around on the map for more detail.

Marittima terminals:If your ship is departing from the main
Marittima cruise basin, you
can take the Alilaguna airport boat's Linea Blu directly from the Hilton Molino Stucky
to the port. The price was €8 the last time we checked. (See our
Venice Airport Boats article for more
information about Alilaguna.)

Tip: Alilaguna's routes
and schedules vary by season, and they sometimes change without warning, so
check the Linea Blu
timetable ahead of time. (You might also want to confirm departure times
with the hotel's concierge or reception desk.)

San Basilio terminal: The San Basilio
pier is used by small- to mid-size ships and river-cruising vessels. To reach
it, take the Hilton Molino Stucky's free shuttle boat across the Giudecca Canal
to Zattere (the boat's first stop). As you
leave the boat dock, turn left and walk along the waterfront. In about 10
minutes, you'll reach the San Basilio cruise terminal. The walk requires
crossing two bridges: One near the Zattere shuttle landing and another just before you reach the cruise pier.

Alternatively, you can spend €60 or so for a
five-minute crossing to Marittima or San Basilio by private
water taxi. (This is worth considering only if
you're infirm, burdened with massive luggage, or traveling with a group.)
